Description:
Built in 1900, the seven-storey Merchant's Bank was the city's, and indeed all of Western Canada's, tallest building. This title was held by the Merchant's Bank only until 1904, when the Union Bank tower was built three blocks up Main Street.
The Merchant's Bank was demolished in 1967 to make way for the plaza of the Richardson Building.
